    Hello from Arizona

    Hi Vern, I've been preparing and reviewing drawings for over 40 years, and I don't think I've ever seen a reloading station and a plasma table on the same plan. Way to go!!! Joe

    Going Postal

    I have an excellent record buying from US companies. Usually free shipping in the lower 48 so I have the packages sent to a drop box just into North Dakota. A scoot across the border, a $5 pickup fee that is offset by filling up with cheap diesel, and home again. Border costs are usually zero...

    1/4 scale V8, first project.

    Like a lot of folks here, I've been watching this incredible build in absolute amazement. I do have to say that, as remarkable as the build developed, what truly amazed me is the group that adopted this project when it ran into trouble. What an truly impressive group on this web site - I have...

    First Fire

    Good idea for the air blower, but you may be cooling off out outside of the crucible with the excess air flowing around the unit. The jixxerbill approach will give you a concentrated air and fuel supply to put you over the top when it comes to temperature control.

    Diagnosing circuit board?

    canadianhorsepower - I have to lodge a small complaint about your efforts. The excellent book that you posted will now take up time that I should be spending on other hobbies so I'm going to have to stop showing up at the office every single day of the week like the boss expects or doing yard...

    It's raining on Australia Day

    It's -20 here and the world outside is all white. I'm wishing I was Gus...even if I had to make the coffee.

    New Year Resolution---Put back tools where they belong.

    Great thought Gus. I can't imagine how much time I spend looking for the tool I just put down but it certainly adds up to more time that I put into actually working on the project. I'm going to follow your lead and live to 'a place for everything & everything in its place". Thanks for the...
